Today, my 27-year-old son told me that for him, eating a food he doesn’t like is “way, way worse” than breaking a bone. He has broken both his arms, several ribs, and a few of his toes, and he still thinks that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered that at the age of 24, I would actually rather break a toe than eat a food I don’t like. FML
Today, my 18-year old son decided to run his hand over our wooden fence to try and get a splinter, as he "forgot what they felt like." Last month, he stabbed himself in the arm with a sewing needle because he "forgot what an injection feels like." I raised this idiot. FML
Today, my 12 year-old son came home with two broken arms after finding an awesome place to ride his bike. He found a sweet jump and his handlebars broke. He's currently in slings and waiting for an appointment with a surgeon, the breaks were so bad, the hospital couldn't reset them. FML
Today, my son’s mother is dying. He told me he feels “nothing at all” because of it. The reason? “Sometimes she punished me.” FML
Today, my 16-year-old son broke two of his fingers playing with Play-Doh. FML
Today, my son threw the biggest fit in history about going to the dentist. He broke a whole stack of plates, overflowed the bathtub, let the dog loose, and kicked his father when he tried to calm him down. My son is 17. FML
Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my eight-year-old son. He broke his arm after jumping out through the second story window. He was too impatient to walk to the ice cream van pulling up outside. FML
Today, my son asked me, "If it’s so easy to tear meats like raw chicken breast and beef steak apart with your hands, doesn’t that mean it’s just as easy to tear human flesh apart, even if they’re still alive?" This right here is why I send him to therapy twice a week, but it’s not working. FML
Today, I had to pick my 22-year-old son up from the hospital, after he got blind drunk, got his hand stuck in a Pringles can, and got the bright idea of staggering to the local ER to get it cut off. FML
Today, I discovered just how picky my son is. In addition to understandably not eating vegetables, he also doesn’t eat chicken fingers, pizza, or ice cream, along with several other foods I assumed all kids love. FML

Clearly, he has experience in both of those things then. Unless you have the same level of experience his opinion is the more valid one.

Has he ever been evaluated by a psychologist for stuff like autism or food disorders? This sentiment is super common in those spheres.

I completely agree with him and I'm older. I also rather starve than eat what I don't like. it's been like this since I was little and growing up in a restaurant environment with both parents and now my partner all chefs. I remember my grandmother punishing me with "you don't leave this table until you have eaten" changed to "this is the only thing you will get, or go hungry". I never left the table, also slept at the table because I thought this is hell of a easy punishment and eventually she started bribing me with sweets and snacks and crisps. Which didn't work because I never ate and still don't eat them. (I had my first burger when I was 17, didn't like it, my first fizzy drinks I tasted in my teens and what is it with bubbles, disgusting. I had my first chupa chups or whatever it was called when I was six, I handed it back disgusted) As adults its way more easier to decline foods you don't like. But son being 27 is a sign that it's his fml to have a mum like this. And as for a mother of an adult child it doesn't affect you.

It could be a food related allergy. He may truly be experiencing the pain. He should seek out medical help.

Perhaps that should be brought up with a medical professional. And words like 'sensory processing disorder' should be involved in the screening.
